Weird how the Good Samaritan stranger, who is trustworthy, was the one to tell his son never trust strangers.
Please share more.
We had sex education in the 5th grade back in my small N. California town and again in the 8th grade. It had a population of only 100,000, but I honestly don't remember anyone in my particular high...
Oh my goodness. I don't enjoy short stories for the most part, but for some reason decided to look at them today.
Knowing that the father may have, and very likely did, set his son up for a long...
I forgot that I can't press "Like"!
This part was my favorite, esp. because of the use of 'vigorously' describing other worlds while sages were, not impervious per say, but detached; as if life...

really sorry i haven't been around to read. i clicked on this because of the title; the first line was shown as i was rerouted (which piqued my curiosity), and then...then i was very, very happy...
:D Brill
like the first snippet. it's like a ray of light dancing on the waves. :)
Oh, I loved it! At the end, realizing what it was about, I had to reread it again so as to appreciate the surprise meaning that had snuck up on me. :) Very clever, and witty. Mumu - hah! :D :D
I'm glad you liked it!
And yes...it is true, NOW. At the time - over

*i remembered this yesterday, wrote it when i was in my late teens.* (which was ages ago, lol). Anyway, I must've known that one day I would need to laugh at my foresight.
It was a
Simple thing...
Thank you, PrinceMyshkin.
I babysit a lovely little 7-month old...maybe I should have added something to clarify at the end, like how I can't imagine how I'd have felt if I'd been his mom; I've...
Pendragon, this is really touching. Thank you for sharing. And, please, continue being brave.
Great rhymes, btw! Am very impressed.

I still remember choking on Faulkner in high school...only one book, but it was excrutiating.
Omg, i just saw that he won a Nobel Prize. Whoa is me!
And just read an excerpt from The Sound and...
:) All the Best to you, as well.
maybe (?) "Our life is spread widely"
*though, on second thought, i think "widely" and "wings" may be too alliterative?
also - sorry - my earlier suggestions weren't clear; i meant:

I was in shock yesterday. Kept hoping some local station would play "Got to be There" but for the most part they played his better known songs over and over. I had the biggest crush on him when I was...
Honest, non-sentimental pathos. Not sure I've ever understood the value in that 'til just now.
Thank you...this is very beautiful.
